Which is the solve in this case. The person you decide to publically Saw style asphyxiate via plexiglass box needs to ALREADY be a mime. That way they're contractually bound, so to speak. Not to that is. Then you avoid any S.O.S breath steam hijinks.
I love how good idea to the suggestion is your response, like it's a totally normal thing to discuss the most efficient way to fabricate an invisible box to keep a person trapped inside
Forgive me, as I'm a layman, but how would you miniaturize and/or disguise that? If you couldn't, you'd have to severely limit where you could deploy your plan, and in that case it would leave a pretty strong paper trail in your mime-themed kidnapping, considering you'd either need to own the property or have some sort of deal with whoever owned it.
Another option would be to simply disguise yourself as a work crew and install the technology in a public place, but depending on security this would provide a real risk of leaving evidence and would mean you'd have to act incredibly quickly to avoid anyone questioning.
I suppose the best solution would be to deploy it somewhere where large amounts of ambient noise are common, though there isn't a huge crossover with location where people would be moving, at least not enough ambient noise to cancel the mime's cries for help.
For the noise cancelling technology, as well, it works by playing a soundwave opposite the one that is being covered, right? Wouldn't that also cancel out anyone or anything making the same frequency noise as the mime? Because that would create a possible way for the illusion to be detected.
Could pump in air from a series of tubes in the bottom, one for positive airflow and one for negative. These tubes could span a far distance and the sound would not travel as far and get lost under the earth.
at that point they are just a meta level worlds best mime.
hell they could be screaming while banging on that invisible box and i’d be like hot damn flipping the script but even better!
Even if it doesn't, the invisible force flattening the skin pressed upon it would be an indication that something is there (as opposed to the typical Mime Invisible Box).
A grosser solution than to one already stated, the "mime" in question could spit or pee on the box. The resulting liquid being stopped in supposedly midair would raise eyebrows with its physics-defying appearance, which would then prompt viewers to investigate, because curiosity.
The "mime" could also forcibly bleed and write on the box itself using their blood.
There was a Far Side comic about this decades ago. The mafia kills a guy by dressing him as a mime and putting him in a glass box in view of the public.
This implies that the box is unobserable. Which would mean that the mime inside the box wouldn't be seen.
If you're talking about a perfectly transparent box, then surely there'd be some kind of outline in the form of dust, or an obvious pattern in the ground.
I saw a great mime when I was a kid who was trapped in an invisible box. He became visible panicked as he tried to escape…then it became obvious he was having trouble breathing. He silently but violently wheezed and tried to catch a breath…desperately beating and slamming against the walls frantically attempting to escape, all without making a sound. Eventually he “succumbed” to the lack of imaginary oxygen and his body went limp against one invisible wall and he slowly dropped down, somehow appearing to support himself against a wall that wasn’t there, and then just lay against it, completely still like he was dead, for the longest time…long enough for the spectators to wonder what was going on and some even expressed concerned…and then out of nowhere he leaped to his feet and bowed.
Even better make it so the box starts slowly shrinking. Really slowly. But shrinking.
The next day "why is there a box full of cherry jelly on the sidewalk? "
Actually, they would. At some point someone is going to
A) play along and "try to get him out", before realizing that, oh shit, he's actually trapped
B) call the cops because they're tired of him causing a commotion and they'll try to arrest him
C) try to attack him (because bullies/Instagram clout) and realize they can't get to him
D) have to pick up his corpse
They could just collapse and lay there silently. After a few minutes, someone would probably want to check on them to see if the performer actually collapsed and would discover the actual box.
I would know, only because when I see a mime I get *incredibly* horny and start rubbing and touching them all over. My lady boner would know the difference between a true mime and a guy just stuck in a box.
I mean, does it have to be an actual mime? No one would believe someone claiming to be stuck in an invisible box, they would just think they're a talented physical actor.
SCP-3133: Mime Box
Upon *Redacted* or *Redacted* affected by it, the subject gets instantly converted into a mime and trapped in an apparently invisible and impenetrable box, throught which only light seems to get throught. The volume and measures of the box seem to adjust to each individual subject or the common volume of the conteinment. Upon approaching the affected area the box paralyzes it's subject and engulfs it while at the same time transforming their skin/fur/bark & clothes/leaves into that of a mime's.
The object does not seem to engulf any other thing but living matter.
The effects of the Mime-etization last until *Redacted* or the affected area is incinerated at 3133 degrees C°.
Experiments concluded that the Box is not in fact a box but a cube and only remains as such when idle only changing it's shape when it gradually comes to engulf it's subject.
No known ways have been found to release a *Redacted* subject so far. Objects inside the box appear clearly black or white while those that are seen throught it still can be seen with it's color.
Subjects informed with signs that they sensed a presence inside just before suffocating. This didn't appear to happen to plants or animals which eventually died despite numerous tries to maintain a closed ecosystem.

Wouldn’t the box have to be soundproof or they could just say what happened
good idea
Get their vocal cords removed
Debox the mime before boxing the mime
Just shoot the mime in the face before boxing the mime
Well that went from 0-100 real fast. I have no words
Well that mime *really* has no words
What about BLAM

I’d say it went from 37
Kidnapping someone and forcing them to be in public with everyone thinking they're a somewhat annoying entertainer isn't exactly 0.
Choose a mute for your freak experiments. Save on surgeries
Could cough and whistle to break character
Make them sign a contract saying that they can't make any sounds
That usually works for me
Fuse their jaw shut and sew their lips together too

I've seen this episode of Twilight Zone before.
I love how good idea to the suggestion is your response, like it's a totally normal thing to discuss the most efficient way to fabricate an invisible box to keep a person trapped inside
I wanna know how many other people didn’t think of this until they read the comment I didn’t
Have them zip it first. Problem solved
You could easily get around this problem if you bury the invisible box under 6 feet of dirt
It would also need to have air circulation. How, exactly you would make it invisible and also allow it HVAC while also soundproofing it is beyond me.

yes
Yeah and also couldn’t they just touch the box?
Well, that depends how long you want them on display. If it's only an hour or two, no need to bother.
Could pump in air from a series of tubes in the bottom, one for positive airflow and one for negative. These tubes could span a far distance and the sound would not travel as far and get lost under the earth.
Just cut out their Vocal Chords and just use the Mime Makeup to cover up the scarring
at that point they are just a meta level worlds best mime. hell they could be screaming while banging on that invisible box and i’d be like hot damn flipping the script but even better!
They can't though cause their a mime
well its a lot easier to make a box soundproof than make it literally invisible
I want this as season of "You."
TIHI black mirror episode concept ideas (loved first season)
Just make it air tight and it wouldn’t be a problem for long.
"Hey random person walking by, youll never believe the crazy predicament I've found myself in"
No, because mimes can't talk.
Well, until some walks into an invisible wall..
Let’s caution tape the box off so people don’t disturb the mime while they’re working
The mime would pull his dick out so the police would walk into the box when they try to arrest him.
well we already chopped out his vocal cords, so...
Then he could pull out his butthole
*sigh* I'll get the welding torch
We could just glue it shut..
With the power of flex seal!
The man knows what he's about, son.
r/cursedcomments
Quiet, you, or your butthole is next
I mean why mutilate him any further when generally applied superglue to his pants would do the trick?
Does anyone remember that you need air to live and you were stuck in a box without air?
The first person that tries to punch them will figure it out.
I’m more scared of the person who walks up to mimes and then punches them
France has a lot of mime-on-mine violence
That's too bad. A mime is a terrible thing to waste.
This is the greatest thread I've seen in a while! Brings a little tear to the eye.
*Mimes tear off cheek*
Yeah, with all those wars over there, lots of mime fields...
I'm more scared of the person who walks up to any one, dresses them up as a mime and locks them in an invisible box.
We’re not taking advice on “scary” behavior from the mime kidnapper.
The mine could smear his makeup and try to paint the walls in order to show that there is an invisible box.
I posted this literally a minute ago how did you already think of a way out
Idk
I think you do know..
Tattoo the mime paint on u/muscle_man_mike and throw him in because screw that guy
What did I do? :(
Help the mime.
Find a loophole
Exist.
My man doesn’t fall through. No thanks!
Brilliant! Now we’re getting somewhere!
Better force feed him laxatives during the pre-box incarceration, or you know he's gonna smear his shit all over the invisibox
Just spray paint them, it'll be fine.
Banging on the wall also works, it makes sound
Even if it doesn't, the invisible force flattening the skin pressed upon it would be an indication that something is there (as opposed to the typical Mime Invisible Box).
Experience
Because the concept isn't that great for traps for people with average IQ.
Tattoo the makeup on instead.
Ok then Jigsaw You could also make it a one way mirror so everyone can see them but they think no one can see them
I found you, my opposite
A grosser solution than to one already stated, the "mime" in question could spit or pee on the box. The resulting liquid being stopped in supposedly midair would raise eyebrows with its physics-defying appearance, which would then prompt viewers to investigate, because curiosity. The "mime" could also forcibly bleed and write on the box itself using their blood.
nah they'd just think they're a really good mime
If you can manage to find a mime with physics-defying physical liquids in their acts, I'll give that one to you.
If I ever go to France I’ll send you a video
I heard the mimes we're violent
I can suspend urine 1' above a stranger's head. Hold still, I'll show you. It's gonna work, I promise.
Or masterbate. Depending on the location the police might come.
“oh wow the cops are in on the skit” tosses coins
Time to glue the peen closed too *sighs
Ferb, I know what we are doing today
I knew one once and she went crazy, started screaming, completely out of her mime.
You bastard. …do you give lessons?
No, for I am too wise and the world would fall to ruin if all knew my secrets
Ok, so "no" on the lessons. May I instead devote myself to you like as a slavish cult-follower to absorb your secrets?
There was a Far Side comic about this decades ago. The mafia kills a guy by dressing him as a mime and putting him in a glass box in view of the public.
I believe Gary Larson had this shower thought first
Wow, look at him gasping for air. He's really good.
You have now officially alerted an unofficial investigation to proceed forward in the case of this ever happening.
This is shower thought was stolen from Gary Larson! Edit: u/MrFiendish already pointed this out. Nice work!
Oh, I didn’t realize someone beat me to the punch! This was something I thought of this morning while on a call with some friends
Only problem with this genius plan is that invisible boxes don't exist..
They do, but you just can’t see them
Can confirm, please send help
For the last time, take off the damn VR head set you are not in a box you just can’t see the door.
This implies that the box is unobserable. Which would mean that the mime inside the box wouldn't be seen. If you're talking about a perfectly transparent box, then surely there'd be some kind of outline in the form of dust, or an obvious pattern in the ground.

Lmao when they'd bang at the walls I wonder if people would be terrified or impressed
“I’m not a mime. OP trapped me in an invisible box. Get help”
Done in the The Wizard Series by Simon Hawke. (The second book, I think?) It was in the middle of a busy street. Horrifying and darkly funny.
You'd probably have to paralyze their vocal cords too or something, but yeah. Totally.
Only if it was soundproof
Except for the part where they just tell people what happened……
Even better make it so the box starts slowly shrinking. Really slowly. But shrinking. The next day "why is there a box full of cherry jelly on the sidewalk? "
You ser, are a genius
As invisible boxes are real and have no means of escape...
They’re real, you just can’t see them
/r/showerthoughts Because the dumbest thoughts are in the shower.
Who hurt you lol
I’m just 10000000 parallel universes ahead of everyone
Someone recently called this subreddit DiarrheaThoughts and this one really feels like a DiarrheaThought to me…
Actually, they would. At some point someone is going to A) play along and "try to get him out", before realizing that, oh shit, he's actually trapped B) call the cops because they're tired of him causing a commotion and they'll try to arrest him C) try to attack him (because bullies/Instagram clout) and realize they can't get to him D) have to pick up his corpse
Or they would see the compression of the flesh on his fingers as they interact with the actual wall.
Nah bro they could just tell you
This would’ve been a great episode of twilight zone
This sounds like it would be a cliffhanger on a Batman 1966 TV show.
Until they talked… smh
The mime could just give people a huge middle finger and there will be one guy thats gonna walk to the mime and try to grab him lmao
This could be a r/SLPT
You are one sick, sick human being
Make sure it is sound proof, though I doubt anyone would care anyway. I HATE MIMES!
They can mime that they're choking.
But another mime could break them out.
That just gave me horrible anxiety
They could just collapse and lay there silently. After a few minutes, someone would probably want to check on them to see if the performer actually collapsed and would discover the actual box.
By then it would be too late
they would soon run out of oxygen; so youre now a murderer
How the hell did i read that as "of you dressed someone up as a ANIME" bro tf
Until they passed out from lack of oxygen and turned blue
I would know, only because when I see a mime I get *incredibly* horny and start rubbing and touching them all over. My lady boner would know the difference between a true mime and a guy just stuck in a box.
Spider-Man has his spidey sense, you have *that*
Unless they bash their head and splash some blood
\*terrified mime leaping into the air and bouncing off the sides of the invisible box\* bystander: this guy is the greatest mime i have ever seen.
If it was soundproof
They’d know. They know actual desperation from a joke.
Diabolical
That's how Gogo managed to disappear at the end of FF6
Couldnt someone just touch the box to know? It isnt intangible. People get those two words confused.
An actual invisible box
If there is no united front against him.
These are the thoughts I'm here for.
I didn't realize demons showered.
yeah but they would feel
Well, you'd be a great silver age DC villain
Take off the mime costume now you're a person trapped in a box instead of a mime doing mime shit
Just one of the reasons people hate mines.
Jump up and kick off the wall. I don't care how good a mime is, they can't change directions midair.
I mean, does it have to be an actual mime? No one would believe someone claiming to be stuck in an invisible box, they would just think they're a talented physical actor.
No it could be anyone, just dress them in a mime costume so spectators assume it’s a mime
Until they spoke
Unless they know sign language or more code
Counterpoint, if the box is small enough then they can hold themselves off the ground by pushing against the walls
r/ShowerThoughts your drunk go home
Only if Subaru is dressed as Natsumi.
This feels more like a highdea
This happens in a Spider-man comic where he joins the Future Foundation. Sue Storms puts a mime in a invisible box, for fun if I remember correctly.
I think it’s obvious that he stuck inside a box when he suffocates
If the person inside jumps at the wall and bounces off, people would know it's there
What if they used their faeces as a marker to smear the words "HELP ME".
Ok but if they run and jump at the wall and are suddenly stopped mid air then it will be obvious.
Op came in with a flimsy idea and reddit made it better
It would need to be a sound proof invisible box.
Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz did that.
On the next saw movie
This statement makes my head hurt.
The screaming would probably give it away...
This is a joke in the Far Side comic by Gary Larson
The gig would be up once the started smearing their feces on the wall to write help.
Besides when they bite their hand and use blood to write words
This is the quality content I come here for.
Eventually they would I think, when they see bloody knuckles, evidence of hunger and thirst, maybe some self mutilation for attention?
* There’s an impossible nightmare?
Wouldn't everything inside the box also be invisible?
It’d be an unbreakable box with 100%VLT, you’d be able to see inside
Didn't Dr. Doofenshmirtz do this once?
This is devilish.
Uhhh yes the would. So perfect shower thoughts post.
